Size Assistance
A refined fit guide for performance sportswear, functional layers, and movement-led lifestyle apparel. Use this page to compare measurements, understand compression levels, choose the right silhouette, and build a more confident Elevora wardrobe across training, running, studio, and everyday active routines.
First
Measure with intention
Your best size starts with four exact points.
Elevora pieces are built for active movement, so the most reliable fit comes from measuring close to the body while standing naturally. Keep the tape level, avoid pulling it tight, and compare your result with the fit intention of each product.
How to measure cleanly
Wear light, close-fitting clothing and use a soft measuring tape. Measure in inches, then compare across bust, waist, hip, and inseam. If one measurement sits between sizes, choose based on the garment type and the fit you prefer.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust while keeping the tape parallel to the floor. For sports bras and fitted tops, this point helps determine support, coverage, and compression comfort.
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist. This is especially important for high-rise leggings, running tights, shorts, and elastic waistband styles.
Hip
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. For leggings and tights, hip measurement is often the most important reference for smooth fabric placement.
Inseam
Measure from the top of the inner leg to the ankle or desired hem length. Use this for running tights, training leggings, and performance bottoms.
Core size reference
Use the chart as your baseline, then refine by fit.
This general size chart is designed to guide Elevora activewear selection across tops, bras, leggings, shorts, tights, jackets, and lifestyle layers. For compression pieces, consider how much hold you want during movement.

Elevora fit system
Choose by movement, not just by number.
Activewear should work with the body in motion. Elevora sizing is best understood through four fit intentions: compressive, sculpted, regular, and relaxed. Each one is designed for a different training rhythm, styling preference, and comfort expectation.
Held-in performance
Best for sports bras, high-rise leggings, and running tights when you want stronger support with minimal shifting.
- Choose your measured size for firm support
- Size up if pressure feels restrictive
- Best for higher-intensity workouts
Clean body contour
Designed to follow the body with a smooth athletic line while still allowing stretch, breathability, and range.
- Ideal for training leggings and fitted tops
- Balanced hold without heavy compression
- Great for gym and studio movement
True active comfort
A clean everyday performance fit with enough space for movement, warmups, travel, and casual active styling.
- Best for performance shorts and tops
- Easy to layer under outerwear
- Choose your usual size
Editorial ease
A looser shape for oversized tees, athleisure hoodies, and off-duty layers with elevated proportions.
- Size down for a cleaner silhouette
- Choose usual size for intended drape
- Size up for a bolder oversized look
Category-specific guidance
Every product category has its own fit language.
Use these notes when selecting your size across Elevora’s performance and lifestyle assortment. The same body measurement can feel different depending on fabric tension, waistband height, garment length, and intended silhouette.
Workout Tops
Choose your usual size for a close training fit. Size up if you prefer extra room through the chest, shoulders, or hem.
Training Leggings
Prioritize hip and waist measurements. A good fit should feel secure at the waistband and smooth through the seat.
Sports Bras
Use bust measurement and preferred support level. Size up if the band feels too tight or the neckline feels compressed.
Performance Shorts
Use waist and hip measurements. Choose your usual size for training; size up for a looser running or lounge feel.
Running Jackets
Allow room for base layers underneath. Size up if you want more shoulder mobility or a relaxed outerwear silhouette.
Running Tights
Choose the size that holds at the waist without rolling. Compression should feel supportive, not restrictive.
Windproof Layers
Consider your layering plan. For cold weather or warmups, leave space for a hoodie, long sleeve, or fitted base layer.
Athleisure Hoodies
Choose your usual size for relaxed comfort. Size up for a stronger oversized profile with more drape and coverage.
Oversized Tees
Designed with intentional volume. Size down for a cleaner fit or keep your usual size for the intended loose shape.
Fit decision framework
When in doubt, choose by how you move.
The right size is not only about measurements. It also depends on your movement intensity, fabric preference, styling intention, and comfort threshold. Use this framework to make the final choice when your measurements sit between two sizes.
For stronger support
Choose the smaller size only if your measurements are close to the lower end and you prefer a held-in, compressive performance feel.
For more ease
Choose the larger size if you want more room through the waist, chest, shoulders, thighs, or outer layers.
For tall frames
Review inseam, sleeve length, and hem coverage. For jackets and tees, sizing up can add length and layering comfort.
For curves
Let your fullest hip or bust measurement guide the size, then use the fit notes to decide whether compression or ease matters more.
After purchase fit care
Protect the fit after every wash and wear.
Performance fabrics are designed to recover, stretch, and support. Proper care helps maintain waistband hold, fabric structure, color depth, and a clean athletic handfeel over time.
Wash cold
Use cold water and a gentle cycle to help preserve stretch recovery, surface smoothness, and overall garment structure.
Avoid softener
Fabric softener can coat performance fibers and reduce breathability, compression, and moisture-management feel.
Air dry
Lay flat or hang dry when possible. High heat can weaken elastic fibers and change the way fitted pieces hold the body.
Store cleanly
Fold or hang pieces without overstretching waistbands, straps, cuffs, or hems to maintain a polished fit profile.
Fit questions
Answers before you choose.
These common sizing questions are intentionally closed by default, so the page stays clean and focused. Open only the guidance you need while comparing sizes, categories, and fit preferences.
Should I size up or down if I am between sizes?
For leggings, tights, and sports bras, size down only when you prefer a firmer compressive feel and your measurements are close to the lower size. For jackets, hoodies, oversized tees, and windproof layers, size up if you prefer more room or plan to layer.
How should training leggings feel when they fit correctly?
They should feel smooth through the hip, secure at the waist, and supportive through movement. The waistband should not roll, dig, or slide, and the fabric should not feel overstretched when bending or squatting.
What size should I choose for a sports bra?
Use your bust measurement and support preference. A good sports bra should feel secure around the band and stable through movement without restricting breathing or creating sharp pressure at the straps or neckline.
Do oversized tees already include extra room?
Yes. Oversized tees are designed with intentional volume. Choose your usual size for the intended relaxed silhouette, size down for a cleaner everyday look, or size up for a more dramatic editorial shape.
How should I size running jackets and windproof layers?
Consider your base layers first. If you wear a sports bra or fitted top underneath, your usual size may work well. If you plan to wear a hoodie or thermal layer underneath, sizing up can improve shoulder mobility and comfort.
What if my bust, waist, and hip measurements suggest different sizes?
For bottoms, prioritize hip and waist. For sports bras and fitted tops, prioritize bust and band comfort. For jackets and hoodies, prioritize chest, shoulder mobility, and your preferred layering style.
Will performance pieces loosen after wearing?
Quality performance fabrics may relax slightly during wear while retaining recovery after washing. A piece should feel comfortable from the beginning and should not rely on stretching out to become wearable.
